Águas Belas, Pernambuco, Brazil

This Wednesday morning (9), a motorcyclist, 55-year-old José A.d.L.M., died when, whilst riding his vehicle, he was cut off by a pick-up truck. He lost control, and crashed into a street pole.

The impact was so strong that it severed his head. The body was removed and taken to the Caruaru Institute of Forensic Medicine.

It's possible that he saw his own body lying there, briefly.

There is gore on the blue steel pole so I assume that is what he hit. If his head was severed by a wire or thin metal sign post maybe he would remain conscious for 10 or twenty seconds (was that Lavoisier that kept blinking after being guillotined?) But hitting that steel pole I would reckon to guess it was likely lights out.

so what is most valuable? the head with the brains or the body with the heart, the precious heart..?

No helmet, tank top and shorts. Great riding attire.

No. It's not possible. Even if hit brain was conscious for a few seconds, it would have been spinning and turning. But he wasn't even conscious for that.
As soon the blood pressure drops to zero, so does consciousness. The head trauma would have also rendered him unconscious almost immediately.

Lucky bastards. Someone got to keep the head
